In this Hymn, Forgive me, the seeker is on the wholesale confessional mode – sincerely remorseful for relegating the Lord to an insignificant position in his life.

The greatest spiritual sin is amnesia of the One responsible for our very existence. Swami Chinmayananda’s vivid and lucid explanation makes this deceptively short text a cathartic release for any devotee. Just fourteen verses – but they lead up the devotee to a hysteric release and resurrection! Experience it for yourself!

Shri Dakshinamurti Stotram, written by Shri Adi Shankaracharya, expounds Advaita Vedanta. It is arguably the shortest of any of his works. However, in its philosophic import, it is one of his most inspired works. In a compilation of ten stanzas there is a concise and vivid description of the philosophical significance of the form of Shiva, giving the very essence of the Indian idea of epistemology. It differs from every other attempt in a very basic sense, in that it is holistic rather than purely reductionist.

By developing the quality of discrimination, a power solely accorded to man, can one distinguish between the eternal and the temporal, which in turn opens the gateway to peace and happiness. Vivekachudamani, literally translated as the ‘Crest Jewel of Discrimination’ is a compendium of 581 verses on the ways to know, understand and reach Brahman, the Reality in us. Composed by Sri Adi Shankaracharya, Vivekachudamani is in the form of a dialogue between the student and the Teacher, with the latter guiding the former along the spiritual path. Swami Tejomayananda’s discourses is the perfect companion for students walking the spiritual path in understanding its timeless wisdom.

This exposition is on the first half of Vivekachudamani covering the first 250 verses by Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda that was covered in a unique camp at Sidhbari, Himachal Pradesh in 2017.

Vedanta is truly the science of life. Sankara, the great interpreter of Vedanta, not only gave us his commentaries on the Upanishads, the Brahma Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita, but also composed many primary texts that introduce the seeker to the joys of Vedanta. One of the greatest texts he has written as an introduction to Vedanta is the Vivekachudamani, which means The Crest Jewel of Discrimination.

Vivekachudamani is the cream of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. It re-educates the student in a systematic way to provide him with a new vision of life. The goal and the path are both exhaustively dealt with in this elaborate exposition of Vedanta by Sankara. Vivekachudamani contains all the guidance a sincere student needs to live a spiritual life and discover his true Self.

Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda with his brilliance and wit gives a rational analysis of this sacred text, leading seekers to the knowledge and understanding of the true Self. Through these videos, you will experience the warmth and love of great master sharing his wisdom and joy and pointing towards your own divinity to help you to discover the unlimited love and light within yourself.
